Cannot agree on a boys name please can you look at our list

[GoldenDaffodil]

Hi

It's still early days so we've got plenty of time to decide but I'd like your opinions on our boys list for DC2 please. If the child turns out to be male I fear we may never agree on a name. This is a list of names we almost agree on:

Lawrence - Lawry for short
Seth
Evan
Eric

Thanks so much in advance for your help

Lawrence

Seth

Lawrence is my favourite and Id have it for a son if it didnt sound too twee ext to dds name (cant have a DD and a DS named for Little Women characters!)

Love Seth.

Dont like Eric (reminds me of the Eric off Guess Who boardgame), and dont like Evan.

Id spell it Laurie though.

Evan or Lawrence.

Don't like Eric but possibly because it was slang for a condom when I was at school

In order,
Seth,
Evan,
Laurie (not keen on Laurence)

Eric, I know too many dogs called Eric!

I've never heard of Eric being slang for a condom purple, that's made me giggle. Lawrence is my favourite and Seth is DH's favourite. DH is concerned that Lawrence sounds to 'posh' and pretentious.

They work well as siblings so you could save one for a siblibg, or use both as first and middle name.

Lawrence or Evan are both OK.

To me Eric is very old fashioned.

I really dislike Seth. Sorry!

They are all great but my personal favourite is Eric.

Eric the Half a Bee.

Adore both Lawrence and Seth but DH vetoed them for our baby (boo..)

Seth sounds a bit too soft and wet to me. I like Lawrence although you may have to accept some of his mates calling him Larry and not Lawry as he gets older (nns by their nature are not necessarily controlled by parents). Evan is OK. I like Eric with a K. Erik, Scandanavian stylie.

Lawrence - love it.

Evan or Seth

Lawrence is nice but does sound a bit posh. I'm also with Honey, Erik is much better than Eric.

I like Evan

I love Lawrence and Seth (in fact both would be on my boys short list if it wasn't for the fact that Lawrence was my maiden name and Seth doesn't flow with our surname)
Not keen on Eric and Evan is nice, I also like Ivan.

Eric was also slang for condom when I was small, just couldn't name a child that myself! Looks better as Erik though.

Love Lawrence. I knew one at uni who called himself Ren, but it has more obvious nns Lawrie, Laurie, Larry etc.

Evan is ok. Seth I don't much like, there is one at DDs preschool and he gets called Seff, it sounds awful to me.

I like Evan.

Dislike the others - Seth sounds a bit wet, Lawrence is a bit posh and Eric is a bit old fashioned (in a bad way!)

Love Laurence with this spelling, nit the W one. Lawry looks weird to me - love Laurie.

Dislike the others, sorry - especially Seth.

I love Lawrence. Also love Lawrie, Laurie or Larry. It's a fab name. My DH vetoed it

not, not nit!

Love Seth.

All the names are good.

Love Lawrence with nn Laurie or Lawrie

I love the name Seth but it was vetoed by DH when we had our boys. Kids with lisps might have a problem saying Seth though - I know because I have a Maffoo Matthew.

My friend's DS is Laurie/Lawrence and I like that a lot too.

Lawrence
